Recycle Boat Race: Sunday July 15th. Race Start: 11am

The recycle boat challenge is fun. Build a boat out of recyclable or compostable material and race it across Lily Lake. Your whole team can get on the boat, or just send one strong willed member - whatever Floats Your Boat, works! Are you up for the challenge? Get a group together, and have fun making your boat! Look at the photos below for inspiration. Contact Brenda MacCallum at bmaccallum@fundyrecycles.com or 738-1214
